LOW-KEY BIRTHDAY

I not too long ago celebrated my birthday with a pleasant quiet and enjoyable day stuffed with considered one of my favourite meals – selfmade lasagna and some moments at a small native seaside watching the sundown. 

After I was youthful, I would search to get rowdy at some bar or home celebration with pals (even dangerous influences like my buddy Jonny Firestorm), however as with most individuals, the years have modified what I discover to be fulfilling. I nonetheless wish to get somewhat rowdy however I’ve undoubtedly slowed down.

Much less consuming (for now) and somewhat extra centered on making an attempt to get in (superb) form once more. Or not less than some good pecs and shoulders. Possibly some meat on the legs and arms. I am even debating on taking over operating. 

Here is one thing Donnie Dukes despatched me this morning. Man, if solely that is what The Champ nonetheless seemed like eh? 

 

MUSIC

Not too long ago satisfied myself to purchase somewhat cheap document participant ($35) and have been listening to complete information. Do you keep in mind doing that? Shopping for a complete document or CD and exploring it from begin to end. Discovering little gems that did not make it to radio.

I began my assortment with some positive issues – ABBA, Billy Joel, Jim Croce, Elvis, Van Morrison & Fat Domino. I’ve picked up just a few newer bands – The 1975, Mac Miller, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen & a pair others. 

I am fairly large into music. I get pleasure from concert events (ideally small acoustic ones) and discovering new songs (even when they’re a long time previous). Discovering covers of hit songs or nearly hit songs.

Watched the film The Holdovers and the soundtrack for that was prime notch. I recommend checking that movie out. I’ve been listening to “Crying, Laughing, Loving, Mendacity” on repeat for like 2 weeks. 

All the time open to musical options, so let me know what you suppose I would like.

Is not it wonderful what sort of work some folks do. I imply shoddy. Blake takes his time and loves explaining the method (similar to my buddy again residence in Maine). Makes me nearly suppose I might do it on my own with their assist 😜

Possibly I will keep away from the chilly climate and break up the journey by swinging all the way down to Texas or Mexico. I do not know. 

Anybody have a greater concept?

I simply slayed via 1500+ emails with particular person responses to 95% of them. Took me just a few weeks (and longer than I anticipated) however I am glad and content material with that – understanding that I attempt to reply to everybody who sends an e mail to me.

Some folks get upset that it takes me lengthy to reply a few of their messages and typically I even miss a time-sensitive e mail.

Please permit somewhat grace. I am not a HUGE enterprise by any means. I like to verify to learn the whole lot and doing so on a pc goes towards my soul. I choose studying books and newspapers on precise paper. Possibly I ought to simply go to a strictly snail mail system 😜

Anyway, I do not know the way the “different guys” do it, however I’ve heard tales of the corporate with all the massive jacked muscle speaking trash to their followers in e-mail or the man who solely responds to argue about politics and faith with followers and supporters.  I truly get forwarded correspondence from followers that share these interactions with me.

While you make contact with me, you’re speaking to me and I am making an attempt to be as form as potential.
